New trailer for The Iron lady

November 14, 2011 - By Liam Goodwin

The teaser trailer for The Iron Lady only gave us a 10 second preview of Meryl Streep’s portrayal of former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, but in this new UK trailer for the biopic she’s present in nearly every scene. I think it’s safe to assume Streep will be attending some award ceremonies when they kick off early next year.

Watch the trailer below:

With The Weinstein Company (The King’s Speech) on-board there is a very likely chance Streep will be receiving her 17th Academy Award nomination. Streep came close to winning a Best Actress statue for her performance as Julia Child in Julie & Julia, so the Academy will eat up her portrayal of a controversial historical figure in British politics.

The film reunites Streep with Phyllida Lloyd who directed Mamma Mia!, and also stars Jim Broadbent (Harry Potter and the Half-Blood-Prince) as Thatcher’s husband, and Anthony Head (Buffy) as Thatcher’s longest-serving cabinet member, Geoffrey Howe.

The Iron Lady has a limited release on December 30th in the US, followed by a wide release in January. The UK release will be January 6th.

Im so damn excited, streep is just the absolute best actress in Hollywood hands down! She can make every single performance let alone believable but amazing. The fact that she nailed Julia Child so well just shows her talent can vary which many actors and actresses cannot!
